GPS Rugby Team of the Decades revealed for each school

The Courier-Mail’s GPS rugby reporter Nic Darveniza has picked out a Team of the Decade for each team in the competition, but who would win if these sides went head-to-head?

GPS 2019 PREVIEW: HOW EVERY TEAM RATES

Kalyn Ponga, Brodie Croft and Jaydn Su’a, partnered with the best up-and-coming forwards of the Queensland Reds in Harry Hockings, Liam Wright and Angus Scott-Young.

Could Churchie’s dream team of the last decade topple Brisbane State High, with Wallabies past and future Samu Kerevi, Chris Feauai-Sautia and Jordan Petaia manning the backline?

Or what about against the best of Nudgee College, with eight Super Rugby representatives and another two in the NRL?

Regrettably these Team of the Decade selections are purely honorary so fans of the competition will never see their former stars return for a last hitout in their beloved school colours.

That doesn’t need to stop the fun - which Team of the Decade do you see packing the most star-power? Which squad would be crowned champions of an Old Boys Cup in 2019?

Let us know in the comments, or send us your selections instead.
